Not available here at any price. Neither cable, nor the pipe. Or even small dish satellite. And it shouldn't be assumed that the only people who want your/their beads have the latest equipment.

Yesiree - I'm actually on the cusp of Taurus Gemini. But I fit with Taurus better. Which is unfortunate as my dad is also Taurus. There were lots of wars in my house! LOL

Really? They popped right up for me in about 5 seconds, and I'm on boring ol' dialup AOL. Some of those beady pics take me eons though - I generally won't wait for them.

I have PSP, but these open on a webpage. How would I use PSP to down load web pictures?

Dunno how you get it so fast. Just Leonardo and Glass Creek have always taken minutes to download for me.

I didn't word that very well. What I *should* have said is this: Speaking as someone who creates eBay auctions, I have found that I can keep my image sizes very small (and easy to download for everyone) by using the Save For Web option in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. My comment was aimed at folks here who are creating eBay listings and might not know that you can make your files smaller with little or no apparent loss in quality.

Sorry :-)

Thanks, Tink,

I appreciate you sharing the knowledge.

Thanks. I'll check that out.

But I still think, sellers should not assume everyone has the same fast service as they themselves have. I'll get "the pipe" when it becomes available here. But many people shop on the net because they are not in a central enough location to shop in person, and thus don't have the latest in technology available. And heck, some people are just not that fond of electronics -- especially people who do handwork.

Mine too! My step-dad was a gemini. I'm May 19th. Barbara Dream Master

YIKES! I'm May 20th! LOL

I hear that! Grew up in the bush, no electricity, school, etc. My mom did beadwork with a Coleman lantern all her life. I learned early to pick colors in daylight myself, they just don't look the same by lantern light... Carolyn

I hear that. I made up a necklace around 10PM. The inside light and the outside light, and the reflection from the logs were all a golden color. When I saw the necklace in the morning light, I was surprised to see a greater disparity in colors than I wanted.

Were your family homesteaders? Are you Native?

I"ve always have problems with computers. After studying electricity, I told everyone at UAF that I was born with too many ions. So they leave me (the surfeit) through my fingers, jump into the computer, thus changing the binary messages, and screw up every thing I try to do. The funny thing was watching all the whiz kids believe me.

Tina (proud owner of several sets of your beads)

You're my friend, Kandice. No way I'd neglect to tell you if it was a problem.

Years ago I bought a whole bunch of faceted stones from a dealer who had pulled them from old rings that he had melted for the metal. The other day I was looking over some of the ones I have left. I was using a fluorescent lamp, they were green with a purple highlight. I thought it was strange because they were in a bag with purple stones. So I walked over to the window. Bingo. They were purple. Then it hit me. They're natural alexandrite! Yikes! What a wonderful find! Barbara Dream Master

This gave me a good chortle. And I'm not surprised that they bought it. For all you know, it might be true, and your intuition is speaking what it knows.
